Dad so appreciated Don's visit (and Gregg's too). Good times. We have always believed that family is important, but in times like these, going the extra mile is so good for the heart, for everyone involved. We are blessed with a loving family.

a special visitor

yesterday, Don's eldest son - Donald Hays II - flew down from Montana to visit with him [and he'll be here til Monday]. Rachel and Heidi didn't share the news with him until an hour before son's plane landed because Don I has a tendency to worry and may have even tried to convince Don II not to come.

Don I was so surprised and totally blown away that his son would come down to visit with him. Don I's youngest son Gregg and his wife Cindy picked Don II up from the airport and came along too. It was really a great reunion as Don II got to meet Heidi's kids for the first time. It was a fun time of reminiscing and laughter filled the house many times. This visit has lifted Don I's spirits greatly! We'll post some pictures of this visit soon.
